Junction Wines On a Roll

Finalist in the Hawkes Bay A & P Wine Awards Cellar Door of the Year and Collected the Best in Class for the 2011 Body and Soul Pinot Noir. A small little winery making big moves.

The 2011 harvest may have been a difficult vintage, but you tell the wines that. All bar one wine has collected a medal in various wine awards including 3 silver medals for the 2011 Pastime Pinot Gris, 2 silver medals for the 2011 Body and Soul Pinot Noir.

2011 Wines too be released soon.

Cellar door open all summer come and enjoy not only great wines but a relaxed friendly experience.

Looking for that perfect wine match to go with your Wild Duck

The 2010 Body and Soul Pinot Noir (Gold Medal 2011 Royal Easter Show) is a perfect match for enhacing those gamey flavours. We are down to the last few cases so get in quick.

Celebrating All Summer

The AWESOME AB's win is going to be celebrated all summer long with our Victory bubbles, batch 2 released just in time to celebrate Richie hold the cup up high.

To be honest we will probably be celebrating until the next world cup arrives. Feel free to join us in the celebrations at our cellar door.

Gold for the Body and Soul

Junction Wines and Central Hawkes Bay are proving that we can make great Pinot Noir outside of Martinborough and Central Otago.

We are very excited to receive a GOLD medal for our 2010 Body and Soul Pinot Noir at the recent 2012 Royal Easter Show!

Gold Medal

The Junction 2010 Free Run Sauvignon Blanc has just lifted Central Hawke's Bay profile to a new level winning its first gold medal in the prestigious Royal Easter Wine Show!

Busy Times

While we are busy in the winery getting our Pinot Noir ready for bottling and very excited to be releasing a 100% new oak pinot which has a lot of potential, which you will just have to wait till later in the year to taste!!!

We are even busier in the vineyard as veraison starts the birds come flying in in their flocks. We have the bird bangers firing and the nets going on to try and keep the little devils away from their dessert. The hardest thing about this time of the year is fruit thinning, where we go through and reduce the crop on each vine, seeing the fruit lying on the ground is hard but this is very important to maintain the quality we strive to for.

For each bunch of grapes we take off we lose a glass of wine, but the flavour goes into the next glass!

2010 White Wine Bottling

On Friday it was very exciting to bottle our 2010 white wines. The quality and intensity of the wines this year is amazing.

The wines will be released in March to give them time to bounce back after bottling (bottle shock). Wines to be released are:

• 2010 Free Run Sauvignon Blanc
• 2010 Pastime Pinot Gris
• 2010 Runaway Riesling
• and for a fist time a 100% barrel fermented Chardonnay, the 2010 Corner Post.
